Triple Ginger Scones

Triple-Ginger Scones

Kurt
If you like ginger, you've come to the right place—these scones are ginger-bombs! They're made with a triple dose of ground ginger, candied ginger, and grated fresh ginger, with a supporting cast of cardamom, nutmeg, and a bit of cayenne to accent the flavor and bring just a bit of heat.
